Yamamoto overcame a difficult first inning in a 7-inning start against the Giants, despite a wild throw to first base and a collision in the outfield. Despite this, Yamamoto managed to maintain a quality start, striking out seven and giving the Dodgers a 3-1 victory. The Giants took advantage of a sloppy Dodgers defense, scoring three runs on four hits, a walk and a sacrifice fly. Despite Yamamoto's strong performance, the Dodgers failed to recover from this deficit.
